As people approaching retirement age experience physical changes, they are also encountering financial and family changes, and differing priorities that can affect the amount of time and energy they allot to gardening. Garden for Life will help older gardeners evaluate their garden situation, suggesting ways to redesign an existing garden or to design a new one when downsizing (or right-sizing ), new techniques and tools to make gardening easier, how to select appropriate plants, and also how and when to ask for help to lighten the load so that they can focus on the life-enhancing aspects of gardening.
Hayes has long written about the how-to of gardening and is also keenly aware of the why. Gardening is a simple way to answer the human need to connect with nature; that craving, called biophilia is so powerful that doctors in many cases have started prescribing time in nature over drugs.
Gardening offers a low-intensity workout with a variety of natural movements. Time spent tending plants can produce a meditative state that decreases stress while giving the gardener a sense of purpose. Growing your own food is a recipe for improved nutrition and better brain health.
Gardening grows social connection and community. In short, gardening is excellent for health and longevity. Nowadays older gardeners are leading efforts on garden-related environmental action, food access, habitat creation, and community involvement. Many see gardening as their legacy.
The book will feature five to seven short profiles of inspiring older gardeners and their gardens. In addition, there will be a section featuring some of the simple garden-adjacent exercises shared by the author s trainer (a certified senior fitness expert and Master Gardener) that mimic movements in the garden, helpful for warming up before gardening and for downtime in winter.
The book will conclude with an appeal to honor and celebrate older gardeners and their collective wisdom, along with a call to action, highlighting the many ways that older gardeners can grow new gardeners.
